Posted - 10/09/2012 : 03:06:47 AM Thankyou Robinsteph.Crafty has been so lovely PMing me and I have kept her up to date with things.However, last night my DH had a turn and we took him off to the hospital again (Where he is chairman of the hospital board) and it turns out he has a blood clot so we have to keep up the prayers.

Posted - 10/07/2012 : 10:05:23 AM Grand-Moogi, what a winter you have had. One thing after the other like that can be so trying--and I'm so sorry to hear about your loved one's diagnosis. My dad was diagnosed with Leukemia years ago, so I have been there. Please try to take extra good care of yourself, and know that your friends here will be thinking about you and your family.

And between the foot and the back I had the amazing mysterious infection which lasted about amonth, and my DD was diagnosed with prostate cancer. But I am sure it will all be over soon.

Posted - 10/04/2012 : 08:58:32 AM Grand-Moogi, when I saw Lynne604's post, I went back and read too, and the idea totally reminded me of you and your signature line. (:

Hope your back is feeling better. I noticed we hadn't heard from you in a while. And right after your foot! What a nuisance!

Posted - 10/04/2012 : 07:26:16 AM It's OK folks. I looked under the shawls topic and found an explanation. What a lovely idea. It particularly suits my philosophy of knitting as expressed in my signature line -

Posted - 10/04/2012 : 07:09:31 AM You will probably all think me very silly but I do not know what a prayer shawl is. I am a Christian and a regular church goer but we do not use them in our church or in any parish that I have even been. I would love to know. I hope I have not offended anyone by asking.
